"For You" Lyrics

"For You"

Lyrics by: Sean Strome

From: Higher Key, released 2014

--

For you For you I would burn in the fire, Cross the deepest & darkest desires, Stand on the wire & fry for you, Face any man, hand to hand, I'd take on a whole god damn clan, For you, cross the ocean on a raft made of glass even if it smash I'd swim on down to the bottom of the banks & walk on home, to you

"Midnight" Lyrics

"Midnight"

Lyrics by: Sean Strome

From: Higher Key, released 2014

--

You Come around here try to tell me what's right, You come around here just about midnight Wrong or right, here tonight, stay with me, where we should be, Listen here, I'll make one thing clear, if you lie to me I will up & disappear Wrong or right, here tonight, stay with me, where we should be, Listen here, I'll make one thing clear, if you cross me

You come around here, you come around here just about midnight

"Kick It Down" Lyrics

"Kick It Down"

Lyrics by: Matt Lambert & Sean Strome

From: Higher Key, released 2014

Kick, Kick, Kick it down kick it to the ground Kick, Kick, Kick it down alright, alright

Taking your turn taking your time, you do what you want with it that's what I love, kick it down all you want

"Time" Lyrics

"Time"

Lyrics by: Sean Strome

From: Higher Key, released 2014

--

Time, time on my hands, time on my knees, It's time to make plans, easy to delay, Precious time is slipping away, Heard it long ago, But it makes more sense today

I know what I want, I know i'm not there, I know it takes Time,

"Weave" Lyrics

"Weave" 

Lyrics by: Sean Strome

From: Higher Key, released 2014

--

Now overall I would say that I'm a decent man, A good kindhearted brother from a strange land, the first wave his hand and let You in open up my doors treat you like your next of kin, If everyone helps everyone then we all win but this clearly is not the situation that we are in People helping people must be tough, people helping people you don't see it enough, people helping people have you got the right stuff that it takes to be made of

I've tried to be a good soul for what it's worth, but there's so many other people on this little earth, and some of them treat their homes with such disgrace, I would not hesitate to put them in their place, Somebody said Sean where have to good folks gone? They've gone for good and left all the lights on

"The Comeback" Lyrics

"The Comeback" 

Lyrics by: Sean Strome

From: Higher Key, released 2014

--

Thought it was a lie but I'm back here again for another try the ones that came before have gone why would I linger on

Sorry that you left shouldn't held my breath just putting myself to the test again

Now that you have gone I resign to carrying on but you know it doesn't take that long

Before I come back with a second vengeance howling like wind blowing back through again As I'm blowing back home I arrive all alone boiling blood pumping power through my veins as I ride the plains And I'm coming home I've only one regret only one It's that I waited too long waited too long

But I'm coming back around again

"Wits End" Lyrics

"Wits End"

Lyrics by Sean Strome

--

At my wits end and you're standing at the edge of the world

Took a walk there by the old pond I was thinking how I've grown fond grown fond of you Now that you've gone gone away maybe next time maybe next time

At my wits end and you're standing at the edge of the world Took a walk they're grown fond of you Maybe next time maybe next time

At my wits end and you're standing at the edge of the world

10 Years of Beers

For those of you that care about this type of thing, I just posted our entire show history on our website. 2014 marks 10 years of beers for our band. I'm stoked we've lasted this long and we're all looking forward to the next 10 years, even if no one is listening. Like many of our friends in bands, we ain't doing this for the money or recognition, we do it for the love of music and being part of a group of friends that are really more like brothers. We have some new music coming out next month and I think it's the strongest 10 songs we've done to date. Feel free to take a listen when it's available, but it's okay if you don't cause we'll still be going on and on and on and on...

ps: we're working on booking a 10 year anniversary show for some time in the summer. more info to come...

Sinvitation / When the Kobra Get's Snaked EP

Was searching through some old recordings and came across this gem from 2006. A 2 song EP we recorded at Bear Studios in Vancouver. This is for fans of the punk rock, we recorded Sinvitation and When the Kobra Gets Snaked as one big long song. Take a listen on Bandcamp and download for $2 if you feel the love. These songs have Sean-Mike on lead vocals

New price for Back From the Dead

We've dropped the price of Back From the Dead to $5 on Bandcamp. Go pick up a copy if you haven't already and help fund our next album we are recording in April 2014. 

[oneyedjacks-blog]

Recording time booked!

Recording time for April is booked! We're going in for another 3 days to record a new album with <a href="http://jessegander.com">Jesse Gander</a>. You're not gonna have to wait 7 years for another full-length. We've got about 15 new songs that are in the running, we need to trim that down to 8-10, but we are pretty close. Just gotta tighten them up for April.
